I'm sorry guys, but I have to let off a little steam. How do you feel about Creative's drivers for their sound cards? I always DREAD having to install them because of rampant, uncontrolled bloatware. I end up installing them because some of the features and differences that a few of the software components make. Afterwards, I have to go back and manually remove a lot of the JUNK that it won't let you NOT install.
I bought a printer the other day. It is an HP photo printer that was on sale at CompUSA. I installed the drivers to find that they are hideous, communist bloatware! Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrgggghhhhhhhh! Ok....now I feel better. Thanks!

He's quite unique. Extremely clever, yet also extremely deranged and perverted. He does wear both caps exceedingly well.

I always thought about incorporating that slapping motion into mine when I was out on the town, but I don't think it would have gone down too well with the girl I was trying to impress. Same goes for that high kick.

Air guitar rules though.

He's an unstoppable sex machine when he's all dolled up in his Salvation Army uniform. He get's the women dripping with desire even more when he toots on his Tuba.

How the hell can we get to that level? It's impossible.

Actually, in one of the recent threads (can't remember which one though) we spoke at great length about my new PC spec. And if you looked in other forums here, you'd see that we do help other out. Don't be so quick to judge.

I'd say enjoy the workshop, but I've done those things before, so I'll maybe hold it back. They're not always riveting.

Out for a tea break. It's death by boredom - 6 straight hours of it.

Not even in the mood to bang my wife after this crap.
